Really nice figure and it gives a real feel of the cold too, shame my old eyes won't go down this low these days.

First, let me say I like the figure. A lot. Imaginative pose, good details, love the log palisade base.
But I have to say that we, as an art-form, should be WAY past the whole "it's a big 54mm" discussion by now. Just tell me what SCALE the sculptor used to make the musket. All other measurement conventions are meaningless (x mm to the crown, y mm to the eyes, z mm if he's sitting, measured to his left nostril - kind of like the old joke about why women can't be engineers/architects).
I will support any sculptor's desire to make a figure in whatever size/scale he or she wishes, and will show that support, or lack thereof, with my dollars.
Yes, I'm liking 75mm/1/24th/whatever more and more these days, but I also like 28mm size, so 54mm/60mm/1/30th/whatever is right in my comfort zone. Heck, I'll even expend or contract the comfort zone if I really like a figure.
And we all know the whole "different heights/shapes" argument. But the size of the rifle/sword/spear doesn't change, regardless of how tall the holder is.
Manufacturers, just tell me that one fact, and I'll deal with the rest of it.
Remember, I like the figure, a lot, and I'll probably own one in the near future.
Regardless of the frickin' "size" . . . [rant mode off] Thanks for listening.
 
STUNNING (y) even unpainted you see the figure is suffering the effects cold weather, this is in my favouite period and with lots of painting options on the blanket I will have to have one .
